Future Additions & Unsolved Problems

Future Additions

• Integrating Eventbrite API to access integrate events
• Search through Event List
• Order by Date Added

Unsolved Problems

"I got 99 problems..."

• Pushing the Current-User into the user array within the selected Event via the 'Going' button
• Displaying the 'Going' Users when a specific event is selected
• Add 'Contact User' function where on click an email window pops (with protected contact info)
• Comparing the 'Interests' of the Current-User with the other 'Going' Users and then displaying the compatibility in form of a Star Rating.

Algorithm Concept for Star Rating:

function avg(f, s){
var arr1 = [1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]
var arr2 =[0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0]
var sum = 0
 for(var i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++){
   if(f[i] === s[i]){
     sum ++
   }

   }

   if(sum === 0){
     console.log("no stars")
   } else if(sum < 2){
     console.log("1 star")
   } else if (sum >2 && sum<5){
     console.log("2 stars")
   } else if(sum >4 && sum <7){
     console.log("3 stars")
   }else if( sum > 6 && sum <9){
     console.log("4 stars")
   } else {
     console.log("5 stars")
   }

   return sum
 }

   avg(arr1, arr2)
